Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Jack Vasen Sarah Rosen Fruitman is quite cute. For a kid actor she did what she needed to in order to make you fall in love with her. Without her, you lose at least 3 stars.Roma Downey was believable as the single mom and attractive as the potential love interest. Eric McCormack was stiff most of the time, but that was his character.The plot is both predictable and still has a little twist that becomes obvious about half way through.I've enjoyed this movie several times spread out since 1997.
lisafordeay Roma Downey from Touched By An Angel teams up with Eric McCormack from Will & Grace star in this cute romantic film about a single mother(Downey)who has a little girl named Zoey who spots a mysterious house that belongs to Kathleen(Downey's)character's boss Sam (played by Eric McCormack)who is expecting a visitor(played by Princess Diaires Hector Elizondo) who thinks that Sam is a married father. So he asks Kathleen and Zoey to pretend to be his wife and daughter for 2 weeks in order for the deal to work. But with romance on the cards can Kathleen and Sam ever get together?I thought it was a nice film especially the little child actress as Zoey she was adorable. The romance between McCormack and Downey was cute and the film itself is very heartwarming. Overall if you loved While You were Sleeping,The Proposal,Maid In Manhattan than you will enjoy this film. B+
caa821 I saw "Touched by an Angel" perhaps twice, and I have never seen even one episode of "Will and Grace" -- so I may have been less familiar with the two leads than virtually anyone else who watched this film.A friend who was visiting had seen it advertised, and wanted to see it, so this was the only reason I saw this movie, since I had not noted its listing myself.It may not be anything vastly different from a lot of the Christmas-season films, and the "couple coming together" plot has been the theme of a lot of movies, holiday season or otherwise.However, I found it thoroughly engaging, and well worth watching, and happy my friend had discovered it. The leads and the young actress playing Downey's daughter were all pleasant, realistic (within the somewhat improbable theme), and none were "over the top," something not unusual in these flicks.The ex-husband was also believable - so often these characters are portrayed as more evil than Jack the Ripper, but here, this part was portrayed at a restrained, believable level.Hector Elizondo is a talented actor, who always gives an excellent performance. He did so here, in a light role, which, while not taxing his full level of capability, also added pleasantly to the proceedings.This type of film - especially those made for this season - aren't meant to be another "Citizen Kane," or rival the super-budget, big-screen extravaganzas, but to provide a pleasant two hours' entertainment. This one succeeds in this.
helpless_dancer When a businessman decides to move the shop to Mexico for an improvement in profits he must impress the buyer with, not only the price, but with his image as a solid family man. The problem is he's a swinging bachelor. A plot is hatched to hire a woman and her child to pose as the spouse and offspring of the executive in order to push through he deal. After the "wife" moves in everything moves along smoothly for awhile but eventually begins to unravel. A christmas angel in disguise is present to soften the businessman's uncaring heart. Good holiday film.
